OK, right. Everyone’s had enough with lightning after this long, drawn out, serial-delayed opener as lightning struck twice (sorry — but the four hours of delays delivered plenty...

That’s it. That’s the recipe. That’s what played out for much of this odd day full of fits and stops and re-starts and all that lightning, both in the sky and on the field. When Grant returned a kickoff 102 yards to put the Dolphins ahead, 17-10, it was the second longest in team history.

“Who know how fast he was going — I could barely see him he was going so fast,” Tannehill said.

Then there was Tannehill’s 75-yard pass to a streaking Kenny Stills. That was the longest Tannehill completion since his rookie year in 2012.

“That right there — that’s what you work for,” Stills said.

This offense has four players — Stills, Grant, Kenyan Drake and Albert Wilson — with speed that change Sundays. The Dolphins haven’t had this type of across-the-board gear in years. Of course, what makes it all work, what helps Tannehill, is just the opposite of speed: Big, strong, physical line play.

Here are the 20 things we learned in the Miami Dolphins' season-opening victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee isn’t a great team. It has a good defensive front, though, and the Dolphins line set the tone with 97 yards rushing in the first half. Frank Gore had 49 yards on five carries at that point. Drake had six carries for 40 yards.

It wasn’t as easy from there, and they ended up with 120 total rushing yards for the day. But the larger point is they didn’t ask Tannehill to carry this day. He had moments, every quarterback does. He completed 20-of-28 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns … and two interceptions.

One interception on second-and-goal from the 4-yard line was especially hard to take. Tannehill under threw rookie tight end Mike Gesicki. Tennessee cornerback Malcolm Butler staked out his position and came up with the ball.

“It was on me, completely on me,” Tannehill said. “I’ve got to find a better way to get him the football.”

On this first day, against this battered team, such a play was overcome. By half, Tennessee was without starting quarterback Marcus Mariota and both starting tackles. It still hung in there until Jones made the kind of play this defense needs — and even a star like him hasn’t. His two interceptions matched his total from last year and doubled his one in 2016.

So this was the day: The second longest kickoff return in team history. The longest pass Tannehill threw in six years. Interception totals by Jones in on afternoon representative of his 2017 season totals.

Is that a recipe for success — or a rare convergence of career moments?

That’s what the rest of the season will tell us. As things went, the Dolphins made their lone, weekend prime-time appearance on Sunday by the force of Mother Nature. The smiles were there. The food was gone. And everyone had the same idea Gase did.
